A Few More Iowa Experiences

Here are some pictures of the Family!!!!!!!

Des Moines has the BEST bike riding trails in the entire country. Most of the trails are completely enclosed by trees and it seems like you are out in the middle of nowhere, but then the trail passes under the interstate and you remember your in the city. There are parks and rivers and streams everywhere along the bike trails. The kids love their little taxi attatched to my bike. The trails span the entire city in multiple different ways and go on for 100's of miles in different routes.

To the right is where we do night walks around Gray's Lake. They have a bridge that crosses one side of the lake and at night it lights up in rainbow colors along the whole bridge's path.

This is the Living History Farms, where you do a tour through an old main street with all the original buildings and dirt roads, then you walk through a 1700 Iowan Indian Farm/Village, then an 1800 Iowa Farm, and then a 1900 Iowa Farm. They are working the fields and cooking in te houses as you walk through the entire national park.
